Hi, I'm hoping to buy a dog in the next few months but want to be sure I get the right/suitable one for our lives/situation/house.
I like the idea of going to a few dog shows to get an overview of the different dogs available, talk to owners etc.
I've been on to the Irish Kennel club site and notice that there are regular dog shows around the country, with a big special event happening next May in the RDS. What I would like to know is this - at the regular dog shows, can anyone turn up to just be a spectator? Or must you have your own dog to enter? Also, the shows mentioned on the website dont give exact location.
Can anyone advise? What is the 'scene' like for this in Ireland?
I had planned and hoped to go to Crufts but cutbacks put paid to that
